Angry Adding Pics

I have been trying for weeks now to upload pictures to my albums, but there is no "Add photos" button or anything anywhere on the screen and its very frustrating. Help?

I think you need a certain post count (20 ?) to allow pictures to be added to an album,

I think you are allowed two pictures until a set post count is reached. Again, I am not sure about that so maybe see what happens after 25 or 50 posts,

Here is a step-by-step I typed for someone else a couple weeks back on how to add pics onto threads using photobucket.. Should work with other photo sites too (photobucket is the one I use)
-create an account with a site like photobucket or imageshack
(photobucket is the easiest, i use them)
-upload the pics to your account on there
-one they are up there click to view on and next to it you will see a
box that says share this photo, with different options like email,
direct link, etc
-click on the code next to the one that says IMG code it will look
like [IMG]http://.......
-when you click on it a little message will say copied
-then go over to the thread you want to post pics to and when typing
right click with your mouse and choose paste
the whole IMG code should pop up, if you want another photo just
repeat the steps and enter another one after the first code
once you submit the reply or the thread the photo should pop up

here is a quick video on how to do it too:

He is talking about the 'album' page that everyone has when they join that is not connected with photobucket. you can only post a certain number (2 or 4 ) until you have enough posts and then the 'add photos' button will appear under the album page. Once you reach say 50 posts (it may be as low as 25) Photobucket is a great to transfer photographs to your album page as I use it, too,

Well I was suggesting Photobucket to host everything and just post the URLs with the IMG tags. I use Skydrive from MS because I get 25Gb of space
